Chapter 7: Two Spots of Light
"It's finally paying off."
Luo Yasen sat down on the sofa and moved his neck as he spoke.
"Let's check to see if this dean is really alive."
Shi Yuan took the old-fashioned telephone directory from Liu Tong's hand and opened it to check it.
The above content is basically written in a foreign language, which further confirms the dean's foreigner status.
Most of the names are either just the first name or the last name, and it is difficult to tell who it is for a while.
Moreover, there is no name of the dean himself in the entire number book.
"Does this dean not even have relatives? Or is it that even if it is a relative, it is only written by name, so it cannot be seen on the surface? Liu Tong said.
She knows that foreigners are different from us. When we record a phone number, if it is a relative, we may write out the kinship. But foreigners usually call him by his first name.
"Let's try it first. It's very unlikely, but if you don't try, you won't do your best, and you may regret it. Luo Yasen said.
However, none of the three had much hope.
To their surprise, one of the calls went through.
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, speaking Mandarin.
"Hello, who?" Said the man opposite.
"Are you Desmond, please?" Shi Yuan asked.
"Yes. Are you looking for me? ”
"I want to ask, do you know Niederhog Monroe?"
There was silence on the other side.
Shi Yuan continued to ask, "Hey? Do you know Mr. Monroe? ”
"I know."
"Then you ......"
Shi Yuan was about to ask if the other party could contact Mr. Menluo, when he heard the man say, "He is my father." ”
Shi Yuan was slightly stunned for a moment and said, "Can you contact him?" ”
The other party was silent again.
Shi Yuan didn't continue to ask, he was afraid that the other party would hang up the phone.
After a full minute, the man across from him said, "No." ”
Although he felt a little disappointed, Shi Yuan felt that this was also a normal thing, after all, it had been more than 20 years.
At this time, he heard the man say, "He's dead." Died twenty years ago. in your country. ”
Shi Yuan didn't know what to say for a while.
Subsequently, the other party hung up the phone.
He's dead? The dean is dead? Isn't this task simply impossible?
Although expected, Shi Yuan was still a little depressed.
He picked up the photo again and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the boy looked like Gatson.
However, many foreigners look alike, and this photo alone doesn't tell you much.
The phone just now was in hands-free mode, so Luo Yasen and Liu Tong also heard the person's voice.
"That guy was Dean Monroe's son just now?" Liu Tong asked.
"That's what he said."
Shi Yuan looked at the photo and thought thoughtfully.
If the teenager in this photo is the man on the phone just now, I don't know if the locator will locate it.
Shi Yuan took the locator, thinking about the name "Desmond Monroe" and the appearance of the boy in the photo.
The locator's screen lit up.
All three of them had bright eyes and stared at the screen.
A very rudimentary room with two beds appears on the screen, and Desmond is lying on one of them.
This locator can only locate the person you want to think of, and can show the surrounding environment, but it can't show the details of that person's appearance, and can only see a relatively large point of light.
Suddenly, Desmond moved. He got up from his bed and walked out of the room.
When he came to the corridor, Shi Yuan's eyes widened unconsciously.
"It's ......"
The three of them were surprised to find that the corridor displayed on the screen was very similar to the corridor of the abandoned mental hospital.
No, it's not the same, it's the hallway!
The dean's son is now in that abandoned psychiatric hospital?
All three of them felt a pang of incredulity.
Desmond walked in a certain direction and into a room.
Dean's Office.
There was another spot of light inside.
There was no sound from the locator, and it was not known if they were talking.
There was more than one person in that mental hospital?
Who would that person be?
Thinking back on the experience just now, Shi Yuan and the three couldn't help but feel a palpitation.
If they didn't know that the locator could only locate living people, they would really think that these two points of light represent two evil ghosts.
Putting the locator away, the three of them still felt a pang of disbelief.
After being silent for a long time, Liu Tong said: "Actually, what Desmond said may not be credible. ”
"You mean...... In addition, that point of light, maybe it's Dean Monroe? Shi Yuan said.
"It's possible. People lie. This Desmond and we don't know each other, and lying is not unusual. Liu Tong said.
"If so, what are they doing in that abandoned mental hospital?" Shi Yuan muttered to himself.
If it is an ordinary person who misses the place where he lived in the past, it is understandable to come and take a look.
However, that place is too weird. Due to the total disappearance of the city 20 years ago, the villagers are extremely frightened of it, and almost no one will rush up the mountain, let alone set foot in the business circle.
Even if they took a step back, the father and son didn't know about the anomaly of this place, and they came as rashly as Wen Yuzhe and them, but no one had ever seen outsiders come to this village in the past few days.
Where are they, how can they survive? Did you bring a lot of food with you?
No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right.
However, the light spot on the locator is real. Those were indeed two living people.
"If that point of light is the dean, isn't that just right?" Loossen suddenly said, "We can get the job done." ”
"Theoretically, that's true. However, I always felt that something was wrong. ”
Shi Yuan did not feel the slightest relaxation because of what Luo Yasen said.
The three then dialed all the numbers in the old phone directory. The vast majority of numbers have expired, and almost all of the rest have changed owners.
In the end, the only valid call was the one to Desmond.
I had also looked at Dean Monroe's folder and the list of hospital personnel, and found nothing special.
That's all the information available so far.
As we continue to improve our special abilities and continue our martial arts training, September 9 is coming to an end. A new mission is about to begin.

Zhao Xitong felt that he had slept for a long time.
When she finally opened her eyes, all she saw was darkness.
At one point, she suspected that she had suddenly woken up in the middle of the night.
She fumbled, found her phone, pressed it, and checked the time.
She sat up sharply.
"What? September 9 23:59? I've slept for so long? ”
She clearly remembers that on September 7, she went to the cafeteria with her roommate Yang Shuang, and then a series of supernatural events occurred.
That's right, Yang Shuang!
She jerked her head and looked to her side.
Yang Shuang's figure is still there.
